be displayed informing you that "using parameters that include the =
character by enclosing them in quotes will not be supported."
+ You may also use the --cflags and --ldflags options to pass
+ additional parameters to the compiler and linker, respectively; they
+ are frequently used to pass -I and -L flags to specify supplementary
+ include and library directories. If a directory name includes
+ spaces, you will need to enclose it in quotes, as follows
+ -I"C:/Program Files/GnuTLS-2.10.1/include". Note that only the
+ directory name is enclosed in quotes, not the entire argument. Also
+ note that this functionality is only supported if command extensions
+ are available. If command extensions are disabled and you attempt to
+ use this functionality you may see the following warning message
+ "Error in --cflags argument: ... Backslashes and quotes cannot be
+ used with --cflags. Please use forward slashes for filenames and
+ paths (e.g. when passing directories to -I)."

N.B. It is normal to see a few error messages output while configure
is running, when gcc support is being tested. These cannot be
suppressed because of limitations in the Windows 9X command.com shell.
